Death of Mrs. Mary Reman.

Yesterday morning at 81 Howe street end ed life which, though wrought out in humble sphere, was a shining example of self-eacrifce and unquestioning devotion to the welfare of others who came within it's influence. Mrs. Mary Beman was a colored lady of refined tastes and lofty character, a devout Christian and for many years con- stant attendant at St. Mary's Catholic church. She was taken down last Friday with pneu-
 monia which quickly developed fatal form and at an early hour yesterday morning death came to her in her sufferings. She had reached the age of sixty-nine years. The deceased was the widow of Amos G. Beman, who died in 1874, and who was the pastor of the colored Congregational church in Temple street. On Monday she prepared for death under the ministrations of Rev. Father Kent, one of the Dominican fathers. The funeral will be held Friday morning at Il o'clock from St. Marys church, after which the body will be taken on the 1:25 train to Middle town, her former home, where the interment will take place.

A NEW INVENTION
1n Making Brushes Which Promises
 To Re A Greaf Succeaa.

1n Making Brushes Which Promises
 To Be A Great Success.
 A new invention has been devised by H. E. Fowler by which brushes of all kinds can be made much more durable and in easier way than has long been the custom. In the past and present way tufts of hair are bent in the middle and then stuck with pitch in hole in the base, or wood part of the brush. They are also bent in the mid dle and put clear through hole in the wood portion and then caught by fine piece of wire which runs along the back of the brush, or by staple. Mr. Fowler's invention does away with all this. Grooves are made in the wood portion. The tufts of hair are placed between two thick pieces of wire, or by means of an instrument the wire is bent round and round, throwing the hair out on every side, nearly barrel shaped. The hair is then all turned to one side of the wire. The thick wire is forced into the groove and the hair protrudes like as in any brush, but there is no danger of it's pulling out. The extreme ends of the hair can also be caught in this way, This gives the finest brush ever made. It is thing never done before. Every kind of brush can be made by this groove method and twisting process of the hair. A firm of this city has used one of the large circular machine brushes for cleaning leather, for two months, and says the brush hasn't lost three hairs in that time. An or ganized company will soon take hold of this new style of making brushes. Ex-Judge Blydenburgh is interested in it. Whisk brushes, and others beside hair brushes, are also made.

Among these tributes were beautiful wreath and 8 sheaf from Tax Collector T. A. Futile and an elegant standing cross from 8 circle of gentlemen friends. The bearers were: From West Haven-James H.
